1. Using a PoE-Enabled Switch
The MEGApix Camera is PoE-Compliant, allowing transmission of power and data via a
single Ethernet cable. PoE eliminates the need for the different cables used to power, record,
or control the camera. Follow the illustration below to connect the camera to a PoE-enabled
switch using an Ethernet cable.
2. Using 12VDC
If a PoE injector is not available, use a power adaptor for power transmission and a non-PoE
switch for data transmission. Follow the illustrations below to connect the camera without a
PoE Injector.

surface.
2. Drill holes into the drywall using the included dry wall
anchors.
3. Pull wires through and make connections.
4. Mount the camera to the wall or ceiling using the screws
provided with the camera.
5. To adjust the camera’s pan and tilt, loosen the Pan/ Tilt
stopper screw by rotating it counter clock-wise.
6. Once the camera’s an and tilt angles have been adjusted,
tighten the Pan/ Tilt stopper screw back to secure the
camera in its position by rotating it clock-wise.

IP FINDER SOFTWARE*

D H C P
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol that allows a
device to configure automatically according to the network it is connected to.
If your network supports DHCP and your MEGApix camera is set to DHCP, IP Finder will
automatically find and set your MEGApix camera to correspond with your network requirements.
S t a t i c
Static IP addresses are recommended when using a network that does not support DHCP or when
setting your device to be accessed externally via the internet. If Static is selected, you must
manually enter the correct network settings for your MEGApix camera. The settings will
correspond with your network. To set your camera to a static IP address, we recommend that you
(1) setup the camera to DHCP, (2) allow it to configure itself according to your network, and (3)
change the settings to a static IP address.
1. To set your MEGApix camera to Static, highlight the desired device from the search results
list, and click on Configuration. In the “Network Configuration” window, make sure Static is
selected.
2. Enter the following information: IP Address, Net-mask, Gateway, and Preferred DNS.
3. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
D D N S
Dynamic Domain Name Server is a feature that allows you to use a specific URL instead of an IP
address to access your MEGApix camera. This feature is optional. It may require a subscription
and fee.
1. To use the DDNS feature, check the box next to Use DDNS.
2. Select the server you wish to use. *Some servers may require a subscription and fee.
3. If applicable, enter the User ID and Password.
4. Click Apply and Reboot to save all changes.
